32 wks???? WOW! That's a long time to wait, I was looking @one day old Wyandottes chicks right now in the store. My first Wyandottes layed their first eggs @22 wks.

They might even lay early (18-20 wks) so if your lucky, maybe as early as May or June. And

24/7 lights are not advisable for the flock since they will stress out and develop bad habits. Most battery (chicken egg mill) use the technique but they debeak their chickens and also retire them early for food/egg ratio (boils down to economic-money production)

@24 wks? The daylight right now is still less than 12 hours, so they might not begin laying till closer to spring. My SLWs laid eggs @20 wks but that was before the shortened day lights and continued laying thru out the winter.
